I just did a test as follows:

1. Set/Select arp. [I used a bass arp using only 1 later, set to random]
2. Set PB to +/- 12 semitones*
Layer Level Patchords
3. [#24] Set PitchWhl -> Pitch -038*
4. [#23] Set PitchWhl -> Quantize +100
5. [#22] Set Quantize -> Pitch +038

This was just a quick, simple test to see what happens when you quantize the pitchwheel. I don't know that it optimized, but it does provide for stepped modulation of the arp.    

Optimization:
*If you set PB to +/- 0 semitones, you don't need step 3 above.

Hope this helps.
